according_to /the/_faith ˱of˲_/the/_chosen_‹ones› ˱of˲_God and knowledge ˱of˲_/the/_truth
The words faith, knowledge, and truth are abstract nouns. If it would be more clear in your language, you could express those ideas in another way. Alternate translation: “to help God’s chosen people to continue to trust him and to know every true thing”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐκλεκτῶν Θεοῦ
˱of˲_/the/_chosen_‹ones› ˱of˲_God
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “of the people whom God has chosen”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας
and knowledge ˱of˲_/the/_truth
Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and for their knowledge of the truth” or “and so that the chosen people of God might know the truth”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τῆς κατ’ εὐσέβειαν
which_‹is› according_to devoutness
Here, godliness is an abstract noun that refers to living in a way that pleases God. Alternate translation: “that is suitable for honoring God”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
